Island Holidays, South Atlantic Islands.

Operating since 1987 Island Holidays offer  special-interest holidays for small groups. 

Specialising in certain areas  notably the South Atlantic Islands with southern Africa and the Polar Regions they also offer visits to other place such as The Azores, Iceland, Ascension Island and Tristan De Cunha and a fully guided cruise to St Helena via Cape Town on the RMS St Helena.

They have a wide spread of cruises and offer a very specialised product. These include: 

Antarctic Peninsula, Peter I Øy, Ross Sea & Subantarctic Islands 31 day expedition.

Leaving from Ushuaia, Antarctic Peninsula, Amundsen and Ross Seas, hugging the Ross Ice Shelf, Vist Scott’s hut and on to New Zealand via Macqaurie Island   9 Januray 2015. 11 February 2015 (In reverse) from  £17,140

St Helena and Cape Town

At the moment the only scheduled travel service to the island is the Royal Mail Ship. The RMS St Helena is not huge (maximum 150 passengers) a vital service both for passengers and cargo. The airport is due to open in 2016 so this is a great opportunity to take part in something that will probably soon be gone forever.  Oct 2014. Jan 2015 March 2015. From £7,555
